moser 12 bolt with lt1 brakes ive been running a 12 bolt on my third gen camaro. im running their c clip eliminator and 7900fm ends, 98-02 camaro rear brakes. in order to fit my 15 drag wheels i have to swap the brakes to lt1 as they are .5 smaller or so.
i attempted to ground down the caliper but it was a fail i went in to deep and do not wanna risk it, so plan to swap into lt1 style brakes.
now going to run the lt1 brakes with the 1/8 shim .
pictured here, new bearings, but my my main question is that moser claims that i may have to mill down the lt1 brakets to get acess to the 4 bolts. i am not running abs rings as my car is older. the lt1 brackets are thicker. has anyone worked with out milling the lt1 brackets? is there enough acess to tighten the 4 t bolts?
picture below os the milling job.

If the axles do not have an access hole in the flange take a cut down socket and weld a nut onto it. It is a pain with out the access hole but can be done. What your main issue is a LT1 brake system is in the back of the housing as the LS is to the front so you will need to rework your brake lines.
Your biggest issue is the brake gap between a LS brake system and LT is totally different. This means you will have a hard time lining up your calipers.
